My WildFire wasn't pumping so I opened it up and it turned out that the clamp that kept the bladder from leaking was broken into three pieces. I used plastic hobby glue to put it back together but that is not working. Are there any ways to fix my problem? Also is it possible to buy the things that seal the bladder?

No thats not it I'm talking about the plastic thing that attaches to the thing that is covering the bladder.

That's really undescriptive. Do you mean the clear clamp at the front of the bladder or the yellow one with a valve at the back of it? A metal hose clamp can be used to fix either end.

The clear one that is very difficult to put on and has four screws. It is located in the front of the bladder.

How about some pics?

And if I'm thinking about the piece you're talking about, maybe you could take one off another busted wildfire, rf20, or PC...Basically anything with an air bladder attached in a similar way.

You're talking about the clear bottle shaped thing that surrounds the bladder, right? If so: epoxy & duct tape is good.

Cut off the plastic clamp, you won't be able to glue it back together. Buy a metal hose clamp and use it in place of the plastic one, Just like the third picture in the mod that TimberwolfCY linked to. You can clamp either end, Timberwolf just decided needed to clamp both. I've done pretty much the same thing on my own Wild fire.
